Does Anyone Not Like Their iPhone 4?

I love that its not just apple fanboys anymore, its now apple-newest-device fanboys I'm not saying the iphone is bad, just saying the new one is flawed and to either get the older one now or wait for the new one in the spring. my

The new one has occasional defects and a few tradeoffs. All things being equal, my iPhone 4 has a much nicer screen, better reception, and a FAR better camera than the 3GS. The tradeoffs are that it's best to use it in a case (although really, it's just not that hard to avoid bridging the antennae), and that the glass back is somewhat more vulnerable to breaking. IIRC, the current data show that the iPhone 4 is the most reliable phone (but also the most fragile) on the market.

Anyone who buys a 3GS because of the minor tradeoffs is, well, foolish. It's not worth $500 for an old phone. (And to be clear, you pay the full price in your AT&T bill.) Get an Android (as you have no doubt done, since you hate Apple so much) if you think it's that big a deal. If you kick the crap out of your phones, well, get something else.

Most people are very happy with the overall package. Is it best for everyone? No. Is it perfect? No. Does it do what I want? Yes. Do I recommend it? Yes.

but the iphone is a pretty damn awesome phone no matter what you compare it to

When did I say I hate Apple or the iphone. I am saying to get an Apple iPhone, just not the 4.

Seems you haven't seen it and your ranting is just based on some review blogs.
The 3GS is a good phone and since most people probably don't have them too long, I'd recommend getting a second gen iP4. Anyone still on 3G should go and buy the 4.
I'm not a fan of upgrading every time something is new so I skipped 3GS ownership. That and I had two 3Gs because one got stolen and I couldn't justify the price of a used GS just for the few extra capabilities. 3G -> 4 is a huge leap.

And I am saying that any normal person will be really unhappy if he or she gets a 3GS instead of the 4. As is demonstrated by this thread in which you are a serious outlier.

I'm also saying that I would recommend getting an Android phone over buying a 3GS.

they cut the unlimited data plan. only 2g now which is some bull

[Fusion]

I ordered mine off ebay cuz the unlimited plan here to get the cheapest iPhone4 is 120$/m @ 24 months + the phone is 670$ (or 1000$ no plan).
Total that up to 3550$, that's like financing a damn car. Crazy dumbasses.

I like it at times, however it does fuck up quite a bit. I kind of wish I went with an EVO4 from Sprint.

I work at Apple in Ottawa and I can say that the iPhone 4, IMO, kicks the shit out of the 3GS.

Retina Display ALONE is enough to weather any reception issues. (even though I've only seen about 10 people with that come in store)

I love ky iPhone 4 and haven't had any problems with it. Good reception (not great but good), fast Internet, great resolution, and lots of grate apps.

[BigTe30]

iphone 4 is the way to go, i have had all except the 3gs (although i have had a chance to use the 3gs) and the 4 is by far the best.

I have nno problems whasoever with the signal, as long as you have a case your fine, and everyone with an iphone has a case anyway. screen is great, camera is amazing, fast as shit, and thats all you need to know.

the people putting the 4 down are just haters, the improvements far out-weigh the bugs. if you can afford it, do it.

I had a 3GS and was going to hold out until the next iPhone comes out. The new one is supposed to be stainless steel with a nitride coating (thank you patent office)

Anyway the 3GS fell in the toilet while I was taking a piss at a Costco, so I ended up getting the iPhone4. Overall it's a much better phone. Haven't had any dropped calls/signal issues. In fact, I get even better service in my house where everyone gets horrible reception. It's faster, the screen is awesome, I video chat with my nieces and nephews, the camera is dope, yada yada yada it's awesome. I'm very pleased.
